Craft beer brewer Brewdog has opened its third international bar in Tokyo in the Roppongi district of the city.

The Aberdeenshire-based brewer opened the first bar outside the UK market in Stockholm last year, and opened a new bar in Sao Paulo, Brazil in January.

Brewdog, which raised £4.3 million in its third-round 'Equity for Punks' crowdfunding drive last year, said the latest opening, Brewdog Tokyo, takes it total bar estate to 15 outlets.

The company plans to open “at least” six new bars within the next six months, including a new bar opening in Sheffield later this month, with licences also recently granted for sites in Cardiff and Liverpool.

BrewDog co-founder James Watt said: “Our beer has proved hugely popular in Japan so opening a bar in the capital was a no-brainer.

“The craft beer scene in Japan is booming, with loads of awesome new breweries popping up and we knew we had to be a part of it.

He added; “It has been a painstaking operation to ensure that the new Tokyo bar delivers an authentic BrewDog experience and the finished result looks incredible.

“We’ve shipped chesterfield sofas and ex-cinema seats from the UK, to combine with locally sourced elements to make it a truly unique space.”
